Since becoming a mum, and especially lately, because my skin has gotten a LOT better, my makeup routine has become both faster and more simple. I have written about my struggles with acne before, like HERE, and I will share more about what I have done for my skin to help it get clearer. I do not wear a lot of makeup now, almost nothing on my skin, but I make a bigger effort with the smaller things. I thought I would show you which products can be found in my makeup bag these days. Nothing crazy, I use one brush for everything, haha, and eyeshadow for my eyebrows. But I want to be honest with you, and show you the it really is nothing fancy I use, you can easily achieve a beautiful, natural makeup with very few and simple products. I am considering making a new and updated makeup video, I have made one before which you can see HERE, but I have changed some things since, so if people want to see one, I will record a new one! But first onto the products:

I still have a spot here and there, as well as scarring from the worst ones I have had, so I still use a little bit of concealer. Right now I am using one from L'Oréal, but as soon as that has been used up, I am getting one from a brand that is cruelty free, like all my other products are. This one is okay though, because it has a flat applicator and very light coverage, so I hope I can find one like it. My favorite powder is "All-In-One Face Base" from The Body Shop in the color 03, which I apply with my little cute mini brush from Nilens Jord. I have tried other powders, but always seem to go back to this one, which is amazing and looks very natural. It gives nice coverage, but does not lay on top of the skin like a lot of powders.

Two products that can always be found in my makeup bag are theBalm Cosmetics' "Bahama Mama" and "Mary-Lou Manizer" (I love their names!). They not only look retro and super cool, they are really amazing products, and they are not too costly. I use "Bahama Mama" both as a bronzer and for contouring. It gives me a natural color, but is still really pigmented, so you only need a little bit. The pretty highlighter adds the most beautiful and natural glow to the cheekbones.

I always carry a pair of tweezers with me, I like plucking my eyebrows often, so they always look nice and clean. I pluck them after having filled them in so I do not accidentally over pluck. My favorite brush for the eyebrows is again one from Nilens Jord, number 843, but any small, slanted brush will do the trick. These days I use a dark eyeshadow from Eye Of Horus Cosmetics, I do not think there is a lot of difference between eyeshadow and brow powder. As long as you use a color that has cooler, more ashy, tones to it, and which matches your eyebrow color, you can basically use anything. My brown eyeliner is from the same brand, and it is so soft so the color glides on so nicely. I never wear black eyeliner, I think it looks a little harsh with my light features.My favorite mascara right now is The Body Shop's "Lash Hero", which is quick and easy to apply, and does not flake or smudge, even in the heat we have been having lately. It adds both volume and length, and contains ingredients like Community Trade Shea Butter, which nourishes the lashes.
